I only did a few half-assed searches before starting this thread, so this discussion may already be happening elsewhere on the forum...please don't shoot if this is the case.

I wanted to start up a thread for those of us who have been (and still are) waiting for what feels like ages for the 2011-2012 application cycle to start. I've been working for nearly two years and can barely wait to get started on this cycle and finally put it behind me.

I imagine that many of us who are planning on applying in the upcoming cycle are lurking and not posting...hopefully this thread draws them out.

I'm curious to see how everyone's planning on taking the application process, so why not post the following:

I think I'm probably missing a good number of schools where between my targets and reaches; any suggestions on where to apply? My PT average right now is 168...

Good luck! Are you taking the test this month?

Yep, not studying/minimal studying for it this weekend is going to be a challenge because its become such a habit for me lol. What about you?

I re-took last October. Been debating one last re-take for a while now but I've settled on only doing that as a last resort to get off a waitlist in February.

Chem, you rocking any tie-breaking softs or do you think your app will be pretty much straight numbers?

Nothing tie breaking, I'd imagine the same as other applicants. Engineering can be a good soft, and I got the internships that go with it. There were a bunch of honor and professional societies presidencies too. No military or peace corps though.

I absolutely love Chicago, could totally see myself there for the long haul. I'll tell you what's funny, before I found this site I was targeting Suffolk Law and a 155-160 LSAT. This site saved my life, and opened up opportunities.

PS: Interesting background having lived in several different places and/or involvement in social justice groups

Why Davis over USC/UCLA? Are you dead-set on NorCal? If Berkeley's a target for you though, I don't think that safety discussion really matters all that much. I'm not throwing an app Stanford's way, but I'll be in the pile with you at Berkeley!
